Unfinished business, that's why.
I want to be sure the Town is focused on supporting all residents while keeping the tax rate affordable.
Our Town Council needs to lead the way to help businesses and citizens recover from the economic distress caused by Covid-19.
I want to see a comprehensive housing plan adopted and implemented that creates policies that promote affordability and inclusivity.
I want to see the implementation of the town wide radio system that protects our first responders and residents no matter which corner of town or which building they are in.
I want to work toward a town that is equitable to all and recognize that we have work to to achieve that goal.
I am advocating for continuing the South Kingstown policies that:
Make the necessary investments to upgrade and maintain our roads and infrastructure including the rebuilding of the community boat ramp at Marina Park - Provide residents with safe, aesthetically pleasing, bike-able and walkable streets - Maintain our public access points to the shoreline- Preserve our first class parks - Honor and protect our historic districts and structures - Adequately fund our Schools, EMS and Police - Support our social service agency partners

I want to be sure that we continue to develop our plan to address the effects of climate change.
I want to be assured that Town Leaders will continue to treat each other and all members of the public with respect.
I want to be confident that we keep South Kingstown a town that every resident has pride in.
I have raised my 3 children in this community. They are all fortunate enough to continue to enjoy living here. All three attended elementary, middle and high school in SK. I appreciate our excellent schools and highly regard our teachers, school administrators, school committee and all support personnel. I know, first hand, how dedicated all of the professionals are. I am committed to ensuring that support and adequate funding for our schools remains a high priority.
South Kingstown's first responders are first rate. We all appreciate our safe and secure neighborhoods and know we can rely on a quick, professional response from our Emergency Medical team.
Our Police Department is now accredited, well trained and well disciplined, their professionalism is admirable. This does not mean we can rest on our laurels. All of us must be vigilant to ensure that all the residents of South Kingstown are treated equitably and without bias.
Town boards and commissions play an important role in the management of our town. As a Town Council Member I rely on the advice of the each and every board and commission.
Affordable Housing, Economic Development, Planning, Zoning, Library, Conservation, Historic District, Veterans, Recreation, Waterfront and Bicycle-Pedestrian Committees and Commissions are invaluable. There findings must be sought out and considered in all Town Council decisions.
I am committed to listening to all organizations and partners who share the common goal of a continued great South Kingstown.
Our South Kingstown community is proud to be home to historic sites, buildings and landmarks. It is important to protect and preserve our history, heritage and architectural gems for future generations. Let's find the right way to ensure that our history and historic structures are safeguarded.
The clean waterways, rivers, lakes and the shoreline are of particular importance to the quality of life in South Kingstown. We are so fortunate to live in such close proximity to such beauty.
Who doesn't enjoy the green spaces along our roads as you drive through South Kingstown? Who doesn't breath easier as you walk next to the dunes along the path to the beach? Who doesn't appreciate the fact that we have farms and farmers who continue to produce bountiful local products season after season?
We cherish all of it. We need to be proactive in our protections.
